RADIATORHEATER.

Application filed February 23, 1911. Serial No. 610,308.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARK A. EDsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Janesville, in the county of Rock and State of llVisconsin, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Radiator-Heaters, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in radiator heaters and has for one object to provide heat retaining or insulating means to permit radiators for iireless cookers to be easily and rapidly heated.

It is illustrated diagrammatically in one .form in the accompanying drawing, where- Figure l is a section through the radiator with parts in elevation; Fig. 2 is a bottom view.

Like parts are indicated by like letters throughout both the figures.

The radiator A which may be made of soap stone or any other suitable radiating material is-supported upon the radially arranged bars A1 carried by the stove casing A2 and located above the gas burner A3. The heater orA insulating casing which is made up of the spaced outer and inner cylindrical Walls B, B1L and the outer and inn er top walls B2, B3 carried respectively by the walls B, B1, is provided with any suitable insulating lining or dead-air space containing material B6, rests upon the stove casing A2 and incloses the radiator. The collar Bt located centrally within the top Walls B2 and B3, connects them and rovides a vent from the interior of the casing. The handles B5' are mounted upon the wall B2 to permit handling and moving of the casing. The vertical battle plates are located at spaced intervals about Vthe inner side of the casing and are adapted to hold the radiators in central position therein and prevent their being brought in contact with the walls thereof and also to act as a guide for heated vapors and gases passing up within the casing and about. the radiators. The pivotally mounted legs'- or brackets G1 provided with the outwardly extend-v ing projections G2 are rotatably mounted upon the interior of the casing between thebaffle plates and may be used to support the casing upon the radiator when the shape of the stove does not permit the casing to be carried upon it.

It will be evident that While I have shown in my drawings an operative device still many changes might be made in the size, shape and arrangement of the parts without departing materially from the spirit of my invention. Any desiredform of heating meansl may be used to heat any suitable radiator in connection with my heater and many changes might be made in the heater itself Without departing materially from the spirit of my invention.

The use and operation of my invention are as follows: The radiator is placed upon the stove or other heating unit, one or more radiators being used. If more than one are used they are piled one on top the other. The heater or insulating casing is then dropped upon the radiators until it rests upon the stove body or until the pivotally mounted legs are brought into Contact With the top of the radiator. The baliie plates about the periphery of the heater compel a correct positioning of the radiators and prevent them from coming into conta-ct With the casing, thereby permitting the passage of the flame or heated gases about all sides thereof. The centrally located perforation in the top of the easing permits the passage of the heat and flame outwardly and upwardly and causes a. draft up throu h the heater and over the top of the raiator, thus heating the radiators evenly on top, bottom and sides and preventing to a very great extent any loss or Waste of the heat, and thus materially increasin the speed with which the heating takes p ace.

I` claim: l

plates on the interior thereof and pvotally mounted brackets interposed between said baffle plates and adapted to support the easried upon it.
